Hair Of The Dog: The Bloody Mary

Did you know that Jan. 1 is also National Bloody Mary Day? Nothing helps a hangover like a little "hair of the dog," so we fully endorse a glass or two of this curative cocktail to help celebrate both holidays.
Top honors for our favorite in the city go to Restaurant Marc Forgione, who serves his with Sriracha, house-cured shrimp, house-picked seasoned vegetables, Havarti cheese, smoked sea salt and, of course, the requisite giant olive.
We should also mention a longtime New York favorite, Prune, which offers a stunning nine variations on the classic brunch drink. Good luck getting into the tiny space for brunch though -- at this Lower East Side standby, patrons often wait hours to be seated.
